Boy:
Whew! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get
to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I
wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy:
Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and
courage.

BILL:
Well, I got this far. When I started I wasn't even a
bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home
decided they wanted a law passed, so they called
their local Congressman, and he said, "You're
right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down
and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress.
And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they
decide to make me a law.

I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate

Whether they should let me be a law.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy:
Listen to those Congressmen arguing! Is all that
discussion and debate about you.

BILL:
Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never
even get this far. I hope they decide toreport on
me favorably, otherwise I may die.

Boy:
Die?

BILL:
Yeah, die in committee. Ooh, but it looks like I'm
gonna live! NOW I go to the House of
Representatives, and they vote on me.

Boy:
if they vote yes, what happens?

BILL:
Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts
all over again.

Boy:
Oh no!

BILL:
Oh yes!

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
HOW I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.

Boy:
You mean even if the whole Congress says you
should be a law, the president can still say no?

BILL:
Yes, that's called a veto. If the president vetoes
me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote
on me again, and by that time you're so old ...

Boy:
By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy
to become a law, is it?

BILL:
No!

But how I hope and pray that I will, But today I am still just a bill.

MAN:
He signed you, Bill Now you're a law!

BILL:
Oh yes
